Michael Mizanin was born on 8 October 1980 in Parma, County of Cuyahoga, Ohio.

Mizanin later appeared in many game show offshoots of the reality show. With the exception of 2013, he has appeared in at least one television show/project every year since 2001.
Before winning gold in the WWE, Michael began his wrestling career in 2003 as “The Miz” in the California-based independent advertising agency Ultimate Wrestling Pro. In 2004 he participated in the WWE reality television show Tough Enough for a WWE contract and a $1 million cash prize. Although he did not emerge as the winner, “The Miz” had done enough to attract the interest of the WWE and was awarded a development contract.
He spent time in deep south wrestling (DSW) and then Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). When he joined the SmackDown brand in early 2006, Michael shuttled between his responsibilities in the ring and as a media personality between episodes of SmackDown and Raw.

The Miz achieved “Grand Slam Champion” status when he defeated Christian on July 23, 2012, at Raw 1000, securing his first intercontinental championship title. After an 85-day reign, he lost the title to Kofi Kingston.
In 2014, as part of the advertising campaign, a script was written, which gave Miz a month off to concentrate on shooting the fourth part of the WWE studio film The Marine 4: Moving Target. In his second game after his return on July 20, 2014, he was the last man to stand in a royal battle, winning the Intercontinental Championship for the third time. He won it for the fourth time from Ziggler, who had taken it from him after his third victory.
The Miz then continued his title fight, winning the WWE Tag Team Championship with Mizdow in November 2014 and his fifth Intercontinental Championship in early 2016. After shooting The Marine 5: Battleground, The Miz was drafted in the WWE Draft 2016 for the SmackDown brand and took the title.
